Harry Redknapp has urged Birmingham City’s owners to make John Terry the highest earning player in the club's history to seal the unlikeliest of deals.

The London Evening Standard are reporting that the Blues chief is keen for owners Trillion Trophy Asia to meet Terry’s wage demands and part with £100,000 a week, which would double what he was earning at Chelsea last season.

Redknapp has identified Terry as a top target for Blues and is keen to strike a deal with the 36-year-old that would also see the ex-England skipper set foot on the coaching ladder at Blues’ Wast Hills training base.

Terry is also thought to be on the radar of Bournemouth, Swansea City and Brighton, while Blues’ fierce rivals Aston Villa are interested.
